Nice one, its a big landmark for anyone starting out.
PS, I feel your pain Axel Benito, happened to me yesterday. Nothing woirse than playing on your own and catching up the fourball that started a hour before you

I found the biggest problem I had was rushing too much, helps to take your time and make sure you clear your mind before hitting a shot.

congrats, I always thought breaking 100 would be easy.... wrong. I am sure you will play with renewed confidence and do it regular. Just remember when the odd horror round pops up (as they do) its just the golf gods reminding you not to take it for granted

Well played, one target at a time - but the feeling is good. If only I could get past that 80 barrier :mmm:, seriously though well played remember the feeling next time you're out and relax, the scores will start to tumble.

Well done ! now to break 90 , treat every hole like a par 5 !!!!!! believe me it helps within months i was shooting low 80s
sorry im editing this post cos it sounds cocky, but my big problem was always consistency of the tea once your in play
then its about course management and decision making then you will break 90 !!!
now how the hell do i break 80!!!!!!

Well done mate!! :thup:
After a decent winter of playing on our winter course, shooting an average 24/25 over, I have my first round on our main course tomorrow. I've only played it once before, back in early October, when I shot a 112.
Hopefully tomorrow will show an improvement!!!

Well, after yesterday's heroics (in my mind anyway!) I hit the course this morning full of optimism.
Took on board people's advice not to rush, and I was stuck behind a 4 ball which helped, I didn't want to play through.
Took my time on each shot with a few practice swings, and a clear mind, and ended up shooting.........................................91!
Was grinning like a cheshire cat on the way back to the car, maybe breaking 90 isn't far off

Lol I wish! It's just like a lightbulb went off in my head, had to keep telling myself not to rush, and it really worked! Had a few poor putts insde 6 feet which isn't like me, putting is one of my strong points, so feel like I left a few shots out there too.

First round for me today on our summer course - only ever played it once before, a free round just before I joined. Last time I played, I hit 112... today, 99.
Managed only 3 pars, and there wasw still at least 5 holes with a 7 on it (1 with an 8
), but its still my best round on a full course!
Anyway, played some better stuff today so looking for onwards and upwards...

Well done for two achievements, breaking 100 and breaking 95, easier to think of it in steps of 5 and not tens
Without a doubt its the short game and playing with committment on each shot that can help
Its helped my game i play stronger towards the greens instead of just leaving them short, and i putt to reach or roll past the hole never to leave it short, these in your mind make a big difference and thinking alot about where you wish the ball to land helps.
Keep it up and next target 85/86 perhaps ?
